5Qs with Kraft

1.Whats ahead for Kraft, and will we expect an album or just singles?All about upgrade man. One-up some things, maybe everything. Singles? Yes sir, but I also wanna work an album out, despite what the industry is like in today's day & age. So that's what's up.

2. Winning the TYGS competition, how does it feels like to be the best battle MCs around?Ain't nothing to it. Haha. But wait a minute. Best battle-MC title came along with it? I thought it was just cash & prizes lah?

3. Who inspire you the most locally and internationally?

Locally - Altimet; cause he's been a man who has always wanted to own stakes of his businesses since day one, which I learned so much from & is always in pursuit of some next level stuff - deals, music, trend. Joe Flizzow & Malique; As a collective, they have set some remarkable standards to break, real talk. Plus you can definitely learn a thing or two about music & business from them. There's so much I learnt from their solo debuts as well - both, business & music wise.Internationally - Jay-Z; 10-11 #1 albums. Owns/co-owns his business. Lyrically, his up there in the top-10 of all time. Ludacris; As much as he is very much involved in a bunch of businesses and ventures, he's definitely jack of all trades when it comes to his music. His rhymes and subject matters. Notorious BIG; Classic albums, classic. His popular tunes are ever so polished even next to today's hip hop.

4. Tell us about Malaysia's Finest

Malaysia's Finest is dictated by your attributes, I suppose. A mere example, A-grade rhymes matched with C-grade delivery or breathing technique for that matter, don't expect to pass with flying colors. I try to upgrade these fundamentals along the way. From failure to success to consistency. What are you like as an all rounder I suppose. A basic package is essential - as a recording artiste, as a performing artiste, as a music exec, as a businessman etc. Level of your involvement with your music, with your production, with your business is crucial.
